At the time KTRB was "Xtra Sports Radio" I never succeeded in hearing it. KTRB switched to ESPN Deportes in July, 2011 and on one afternoon on ENOX28 in October it came thru along with some other CA -stations. It was audible for about an half an hour. Although CHAK dominated the frequency KTRB faded in and out with a decent signal at times.

WPRS from Paris, Illinois is not the most usual guest on 1440 kHz. On ENOX28 I heard country songs every now and then on 1440 kHz mixed up with Big Jab, WHKZ and sometimes also with "W 14-40". Finally the other day the signal faded in loud and clear with a Waylon Jennings song followed by a complete ID.WPRS verified nicely with a real old fashioned hand written QSL -card. This was my lucky day -

KKXA began broadcasting on Tuesday, October 11, 2011. It was heard on ENOX28 already on Friday, October 14, 2011. However, before that KKXA was picked up by three other DXers around the world since my QSL says that my report was the 4th one they have received. So maybe ENOX28 was the first "crew" to pick up KKXA in Scandinavia?Nevertheless KKXA came in loud and clear on ENOX28 almost daily.

1550 kHz became an interesting frequency after CBE signed off in the end of September. There are many dominants on west coast cxs but during openings to the US east coast and Midwest this frequency could be a gold mine in the future. A cuban station is of course a powerhouse but for instance on ENOX28 there was a bunch of stations fading in and out on 1550 kHz in the morning hours.One of those

KMSH is one of those stations I have been hunting for many years on 1420 kHz. On ENOX28 it faded in finally with a good signal at times in one afternoon. It was mixed up with KITI and a HI -station but, however, it came thru nicely with weather, ads, IDs and some fine country songs. KMHS is a Marshfield High School station and many students are doing their training as DJs and announcers on the

WILO on 1570 kHz was one of my new catches on ENOX28. The usual dominants on ENOX28 on 1570 kHz were XERF, KVTK, CKMW and CJLV. This one faded in with a clear announcement by a YL: "America's Best Music on 1570 WILO and 94.1 FM WILO."WILO's news director verified with a kind email in 2 days. My IN #16.TuA

One of the most surprising station I heard "live" on ENOX28 was WCPC from Houston, MS on 940 kHz. This one was audible for almost three hours in the morning and most of this time with at least decent signal - at times the reception was very good. WCPC broadcasted religious programming including live speaks from the studio with complete station announcements. Simultaneously GX-94 was heard weakly

Although conditions were not very good on ENOX28 I managed to pick up some interesting new stations for me. One of them was WBAA in West Lafayette, Indiana. It is a Purdue University station and its programming consists of jazz and classical music and Public Radio programs.General Manager verified my report with a kind email. He told that my report was the third one from Finland during the last

Monday offered clearly the best cx on ENOX28 so far. The night was empty but later on cx was widely open coast to coast and all antennas were working hard from early morning to afternoon. I have checked briefly some minutes of Monday morning TOHs on east coast antenna. Many fine signals were noted including WCPT-820 and especially WCPC-940 with a strong, crystal clear signal for long periods.I

ENOX28 is ready to go but the first night did not offer much to report. However, this morning and day brought some decent signals from NA and SA and CA as well.A brand new KKXA 1520 in Snohomis, WA was booming in before miday local time with country songs and frequent announcements. The station signed on this Tuesday.More as it happens - stay tuned.TuA

KWDB Oak Harbor on 1110 kHz became my #85 verified WA -station. It was hard to pick this one up since KAGV and KAOI usually dominate this frequency in the afternoons. Even KBND can be heard far more often than KWDB. Luckily last November late in one afternoon KWDB faded in with a clear station TOH -ID and Fox news. However, it took several emails before the station manager verified my report and

After almost five months I checked tonight some of my ENOX26 recordings from back in March this year. Instantly I came across an interesting ESPN -station on 1550 kHz mixed up with CBE. Luckily this station, which turned out to be KICS Hastings NE, peaked just on the top of the hour and announced both KICS and KXPN calls. I recorded a short mp3 and sent it to the station this evening. It took

March 6, 2011, the last morning of ENOX26, turned out to be a quite good morning for NA Dxing after all. A few nice catches have been found especially on the GYs. Among those goodies was KFH from Wichita, Kansas on 1240 kHz. In this same morning and within a very short time I identified KCCR, KBIZ and KFH - all on 1240 kHz. KFH - formerly KNSS was heard every now and then back in the 80's and 90

My last morning on ENOX26 (March 6, 2011) offered some nice stations as well. On 1240 kHz was a good frequency with a few K -stations audible. One of those stations was KBIZ Ottumwa IA which faded in just on the top of the hour with a complete identification. What surprised me a bit was the fact that there wasn't any network news on the the hour but instead of that the station carried Fox Sports

Unfortunately only two days and mornings were worth listening since the solar weather turned to very bad actually right after I arrived in Enontekiö. However the first morning, February 28, was quite interesting and some real surprises faded in. One of those nice catches was KGEZ on 600 khz. It has been silent for some time

WCLE became my TN #6 and my 3rd new TN in this season. Firstly I heard WDIA 1070 then WENK 1240 and now WCLE 1570 that came in loud and clear for about an ½ hour on ENOX24. WCLE seems to be way off its nominal 1570 kHz. When I captured the station the exact fq was 1570.0218 khz and its peak was clearly seen on SpectraVue's display.It took a couple of attempts before WCLE verified. Finally I

KAGI is a part of Jefferson Public Radio News and Information Service in Southern Oregon and Northern California. This station is very seldom heard in Scandinavia. However, it has been picked up at least once before in Finland.This time KAGI's signal was clear but not very loud. An Alaskan KTKN mixed up with KAGI and also KSEI Pocatello, ID faded in a bit later on the frequency with ESPN

"K-Hog" as KHWG likes to call itself came in very clear and loud on ENOX26 in February. KFQD and KXL tried to take over the frequency but after all K-Hog dominated on 750 kHz clearly on the top of the hour. This was the first time I picked up the station although it has been heard in Scandinavia earlier a couple of times.DJ Frank Atkinson verified my report and he attached also a couple of photos

KTDD San Bernardino on 1350 kHz was heard nicely on ENOX26 in the end of February. The station played fine country songs like "Mama, Don't Let Your Boys Grow Up To Be Cowboys" and gave a TOH ID: "Genuine Country music, KTDD Riverside - San Bernardino - 1350 The Toad". At the time 1350 kHz was very crowded other NAs as well. At least KTDD, KTIK, KRLC and KSRO identified within 10 minutes.KTDD's

by Hannu Niilekselä (HN), Vantaa This pedition wasn't intended to make SDR/DX history the way it did. The target was to encounter at least moderate CX towards NA –potentially also some daytimers, due to the favourable change of broadcast times on March 1- with some MW aussies as a bonus. But it doesn't always go as in the movies and this pedition writes history by being the first(?) DX-pedition

Poor conditions lately on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday because of the very active solar weather. So I have had plenty of time to go thru the files from Monday recordings. Nothing special results but however, I managed to pick up KGEZ Kalispell, MT on 600 kHz. This one has been inactive since September/October 2009.

100 stations from California confirmed ! by Hannu Niilekselä (HN) After 44 years of DX´ing the medium wave band a dream came true today – 100 confirmed receptions from one U.S. state. Regarding California, it all started back on 9 January, 1971 when I heard my first California station KFBK Sacramento 1530 home in Hyrylä, close to Helsinki on a 60 meter wire. Today KMYC Marysville 1410

As has become customary, the better conditions have a tendency to avoid me at ENOX, and this time was no exception. All the files have been examined and destroyed as of writing

Yes that is true. "The Bear" or actually WBHR from Sauk Rapids, Minnesota on 660 kHz faded in nicely with ESPN programming and a fine TOH ID last November on ENOX24. Along with CFFR "The Bear" dominated clearly on 660 kHz this morning. A kind email verification came in 30 minutes. So be careful - it is not always WFAN when you notice ESPN programming on 660 kHz. It could be ... The Bear!

KUAI on 720 kHz from the island of Kauai in Hawaii has been on my hunting list for many, many years. HI- and AK -stations are coming usually best on the (late) afternoon and usually on the same kind of conditions as well. That's why it's even more difficult to pick up KUAI since the powerful KOTZ from Alaska usually dominates totally on 720 kHz. This time I was lucky since KOTZ had only its

Two Miami stations, WAQI on 710 kHz and WQBA on 1140 kHz were heard on ENOX24 almost at the same time on November 4 2010. WQBA announced “This is WQBA 1140 AM Miami” and WAQI identified as "Radio Mambi, Miami". WAQI was badly mixed up with a Cuban station on 710 kHz but WQBA dominated 1140 kHz for some moments around TOH.It was quite hard to verify those stations but luckily Station Manager

This one was captured during the automated part of AIH4-pedition. Just before 22 UTC I heard a religious promo on 1060 and was almost sure that the station in question will be WQOM Natick MA. Surprisingly, at 22 UTC the station identified as "Thank you for listening to Living Bread Radio AM 1060 WILB Canton. Catholic Radio, the Truth for Northeast Ohio." It's always nice to get a new daytimer!

WITY Danville was heard on ENOX24 one morning simultaneously with many other stations on 980 kHz. This station, playing fine old standards, faded in and out for an about ½ hour but I was able to pick up only one decent call letter ID. Otherwise WITY was quite easy to recognize although it was mixed up with others.WITY's production manager confirmed my report and MP3 with an email.

ENOX24 offered many fine new ones for me. One of them was a Californian station KYNO on 940 kHz. This one faded in on November 1 right on the top of the hour. KYNO identified with a jingle "KYNO Radio" and gave a slogan "Live Talk Radio" before the Fox News. KWBY was heard a day before with a huge signal on this frequency. Moreover 940 kHz was one of the best frequencies this time giving me

WCXN "La Tremenda" surfaced in one afternoon on ENOX24 with a loud and clear signal. This time WCXN used "La Tremenda" slogans and played Mexican songs. The signal was badly mixed up with an UK station at times but every now and then WCXN dominated the frequency totally.The company's owner verified quicky with an email and WCXN became my NC #12.

I came across this station on ENOX24 last November. It played fine old tunes like the theme song from "The Hill Street Blues" and many other oldies as well. There was a lady on the company's FM station whose grandparents were Finnish. So she got very excited after reading my email.The official verification was sent by WMBN's Station Manager in two days.

ENOX24 offered some nice highlights and interesting new ones for me.One of those surprises was KZQQ Abilene TX on 1560 kHz with its brand new Fox Sports format. KZQQ was heard simultaneously with KKAA and even WQEW. Even if KZQQ was badly mixed up with those two dominate stations I was lucky this time to pick up a KZQQ's legal ID right on the top of the hour.As usual it took many emails to get

WINZ was another new one for me on 940 kHz on ENOX24. I picked up WMAC 20 minutes earlier on the same frequency and at the time I noticed another TLK -station fading in and out simultaneously with WMAC. And it did not take long before WINZ announced: "940WINZ.com" .This one has been on my hunting list for many years. Although WINZ is not the rarest one on 940 kHz it was very nice to finally pick

KGRG on 1330 kHz - or KGRG1 as they called themselvs - was heard on ENOX24 on October 31 this year. This day was quite a good day for DXing with many new stations for me.KGRG1 faded in late in the afternoon some minutes after KMBI's sign on announcement. So two new WA -stations in the same afternoon on 1330 kHz... KGRG1 played rock music and announced as "The Alternative Past - KGRG1". Station's

WMAC became my #10 GA and my #2 Macon station. This one is a rare one being heard only by LEM296 and ENOX24 in Finland in October this year. On ENOX24 the signal was faint but clear for a short moment at the time when a DJ announced "Newstalk 940, WMAC". Like many other frequencies also 940 kHz has been quite generous channel in the SDR -era. It will be interesting to see what 940 kHz will offer

WSUA Miami FL "Radio Caracol" on 1260 kHz has been a fairly common catch in Scandinavia during this fall and winter. It was audible also on ENOX24 a couple of times fading in and out under and over BBC on 1260 kHz. The signal, however, was not very loud but it was clear enough to get few nice announcements and other details.It took several emails before the Station Manager responded with a

KMBI is the AM outlet of The Moody Radio Northwest in Spokane, Washington. This one has been heard once in a while in Scandinavia but it is definitely not the most usual quest on 1330 kHz. I picked up KMBI on the first day of ENOX24 on October 31, 2010 in the late afternoon during the KMBI's sign on announcement. This time KMBI was broadcasting at low power (500w) from their Nautel 5kW

It was nice not only to test and do some DXing at Muhos during the weekend 4th - 5th December but also to celebrate 2 x 50 years anniversary of two PUDXK-members (the two Jaris). We started again (like two other PUDXK-meetings) at "Sokeri-Jussin Kievari" at downtown Oulu (at Pikisaari, a small island just near the City Centre) - http://www.sokerijussi.net/.

WGBW ran a DX test on October 16, 2010. I'm not sure if somebody in Europe was able to pick up WGBW at the time during the test.However some days later in the beginning of November WGBW was heard on both LEM and ENOX exactly the same time. Mr. Mark Heller, President of WGBW verified my report and wrote:"We were resetting the remote control system at the time of your monitoring, actually

The most usual ESPN Radio affiliate on 960 kHz is CFAC Calgary. It is "always" there when conditions turn to Prairies. So to be able to pick up KALE on 960 kHz has been a distant dream for me but it suddenly turned to be reality on ENOX24.On one afternoon many rarer west coast AMs came in with a decent signals. KALE was one of those stations and it surfaced on TOH mixing up with CFAC and

On November 4, 2010 was a quite good morning for new US east coast stations on ENOX24. One of the most interesting catch for me was WMRC Milford, MA on 1490 kHz. WMRC's signal was pretty clear at the top of the hour when they identified "First Class Radio - WMRC". At the time WBAE clearly dominated this channel but luckily WMRC surfaced just on the top of the hour with legal ID.Operations Manager

KIHU became my first new identified station right after I switched on my NetSDR on ENOX24 last October. I noticed a powerful religious format station audible on 1010 kHz on October 31 around 12:00 UTC simultaneously with CBR Calgary. It didn't take long when this station identified being Immaculate Heart Radio from Tooele and the announcer even announced the call letters "KIHU".Some days later I

There are plenty of interesting stations on 1240 kHz and on other graveyard frequencies to be checked on ENOX24 files. I came across one of them, WCBY when going thru the signals on 1240 kHz on November 1, 2010.WCBY was fading in and out for about 2 hours this morning playing country songs. However, I managed to pick only one clear announcement "1240 Big Country Gold. Your station for Classic

It was way back in 2004 when I managed to pick up KUIK on 1360 kHz. Ever since I have tried to capture another Oregon station, KOHU Hermiston, on the same frequency. KKMO usually spoils this trying and when KKMO has been seldom away I have heard a couple of times KUIK again on my 335 -beverage. However on Novemebr 6 this year on ENOX24 both KKMO and KUIK were away and I heard country songs late

ENOX24 –DXexpedition is coming to its end. It has been an interesting week with many nice catches from NA although conditions could have been better (as always!). It will be definitely interesting to go thru the files and try to get new stations verified…In a way conditions were quite boring as the same stations and the same areas were heard almost day by day. However, I’m sure that there will be

The solar weather has been little unstable lately and this can be heard very clearly on the radio. Not so much to pick up from NA in the nighttime but quite strong signals by WA-, OR- , AK- and HI –dominants in the afternoon. However, this morning gave quite a nice opening to the US east coast mixed up with many Puerto Ricon and Latin American stations. Some interesting stations from the last two

Some the most usual stations from EC and Newfoundland faded in last night as early as 19:00 UTC but they faded away soon. Nothing very interesting in nighttime but this morning and day were the best so far. Many huge signals were noted especially from the Pacific Northwest, Alaska and Hawaii.From today’s logbook: KBIS-1490, KAGO-1150, KWDB-1110 and finally KQNK Norton, KS on 1530 kHz with a

Strong NA signals daytime but worse overnights. Little boring conditions with lots of strong dominants all the time. Hopefully files will give pleasant surprises later on.Here are two pictures of netSDR and SpectraVue’s (v. 3.09) display on 1090 kHz with 0.73 Hz resolution when playing back 1300 kHz BW recording.NetSDR is a very quiet, sensitive and dynamic receiver .

Strong signals from CO and UT and generally from the west coast. During the live DXing I noticed KIHU-1010 and KPIO-1570. Both are new ones for me. The first night was quite poor with only the usual dominants. Hopefully this comin day will offer more...I have an evaluation unit of RFSpace's brand new netSDR receiver with me for testing.

14.-15.10 The evenings could be much more lively - nothing to report from yeasterday. First stations from the continental U.S. appeared at around 22 UTC, but just the very common ones (WLQV-1500, WWZN-1510, WWKB-1520...). It took another 2 hours, before more stations appeared. At midnight UTC it was worth the whilem to start taking the hobby more seriously. Nothing spectacular at night, though

There was a sharp peak towards NA on Sunday morning, September 19, 2010 on ENOX22.I was not DXing AM live but I let two IQs roll on the band. Later, when checking the files I have noticed some quite nice stations but all of them had verified me earlier. However, on 1400 kHz I came across a new TX, that has been heard a couple of times before in Scandinavia but never by me. It was KIUN Pecos that

WIMA 1150 kHz was heard in Enontekiö on September 12 this year. As everyone knows WHBY and CKOC usually dominate on 1150 Khz nowadays with the east coast and the Lakes region conditions. Also this time they were strongly audible simultaneously with WIMA. Luckily WIMA faded in clearly just before TOH giving legal ID and a short weather forecast in the Reds sport coverage break.WIMA's board

Some stations really take time to verify...I have frequently sent reception reports, tapes, cassettes, emails and mp3s since the 1980's to WIIN/WFPG/WKXW/WFPG/WENJ Atlantic City, NJ. Back in October 2007 on ENOX2 I picked up the station once again airing ESPN programming with an unusually loud and clear signal. However, as usual - nobody verified my reception back then.Finally tonight I succeeded

Probably the best catch I captured on September 12 in Enontekiö was a Tennessee station, WDIA from Memphis on 1070 kHz. It was audible about 10 minutes and came in loud and clear when playing music and when giving an ID you could still hear "WDIA" clearly. WDIA is 62 years old and still going strong. I got two different emails from two different persons on WDIA. They both verified my report and

WRWB from Huntington West Virginia on 1470 kHz became my first new catch for this season. It was heard on two TOH IDs in a row on ENOX22 on September 11 this year. WRWB's program director was quite pedantic when verifying my report and especially the MP3 audio I sent. He wrote me earlier in the week that he will listen to my MP3 very closely during the coming weekend. And he did and he even asked

During good Minnesota openings last December on ENOX19 I was waiting for "KATE" identification on 1450 kHz. I never heard it back then. Instead of KATE I picked up WELY with a good legal ID. So it was quite a big surprise when KATE surfaced on 1450 kHz on Sunday night on September 12 this year. They had a weather forecast and a complete slogan ID. A Carly Simon song was played as well with a loud

Even though I didn't hit the best conditions last October there were some mornings with decent signals on lower AM as well on ENOX17. And sometimes it pays to check files as closely as possible. It was one of those mornings when I captured WGAI and WGAN simultaneously on 560 kHz. Both stations gave legal IDs on the top of the hour with the call letters and slogan "Newsradio 56".Luckily WGAN had a

1240 kHz was crowded with NA -stations for a couple of hours last Saturday night on ENOX22. It will be interesting to go thru all the files later on.One of those stations on 1240 kHz was WENK from Union City, Tennessee airing an University of Tennessee football game. I was lucky since just before top of the hour WENK had a commercial break and right after this it gave a full station ID for WENK

Last Saturday night offered some very nice stations to pick up on ENOX22. One of those stations was WABB from Mobile Alabama on 1480 kHz. It surfaced just on the top of the hour giving a legal ID. WLMV from Madison, WI dominated on 1480 kHz but luckily WABB was strong enough to get thru a couple of times.WABB chief engineer verified my hearing and mentioned another report he received from Finland

WBCK became my first verie this season. It was heard last Saturday night in Enontekiö with many other interesting stations at the time from the US. WBCK played country songs around on the top of the hour and it gave a legal ID very clearly.I have been hunting this one for many years - so WBCK was a perfect start for the season.The station's operations manager verified kindly with an email message

The new DX season began on ENOX in Friday night when I arrived in Enontekiö for a short three-night-listening session. This was meant to be mainly antenna maintenance and checking trip but it turned out to be a quite successful mini DXexpedition as well.NA has been audible in both nights with decent signals between around 23:00-04:30 UTC including strong signals from the dominants especially on

1030 kHz is quite an interesting frequency on the right conditions. Of course WBZ and KTWO dominates the frequency usually but in addition to these two pests there is a bunch of other interesting stations audible every now and then. On ENOX19 last December I was lucky to pick up both KCTA and KBUF and some seasons earlier I got KDUN and KMAS verified from The Pacific Northwest.I found KBUF when

A few days ago I went thru some of my ENOX19 -files from back in last December. I came across a new station for me on 1320 kHz. It was WFHR that came clear and loud just on the top of the hour 24:00 our local time. The station ID was followed by the CBS news. Unfortunately the signal faded away after a while and came never back in this night.WFHR's CE verified my report and MP3 quickly within an

I picked up KYNS 1340 way back in March 2009. KYNS was formerly home of Air America on the Central Coast but when Air America filed for bankruptcy KYNS changed to a liberal talk show programs - including a controversial syndicated gay talk show.As usual nowadays it took several attempts to get KYNS verified. Finally yesterday KYNS's GM verified my report with a short email message.

This one faded in early on one night on ENOX19 back in last December. It surfaced as early as 21:30 UTC like many other stations from The Canadian Maritime provinces, the US east coast and the lake district this night. However, it took many months before the station owner replied and verified my report. He was very pleased to get my mp3 audio and it was easy to him to recognize WJML on the file.

For several years I have been hunting two Colorado stations that have been captured every now and then by other Scandinavian DX- crews. They are KUBC on 580 kHz and KCSJ on 590 kHz.During ENOX17 last October I finally picked up KCSJ which faded in and out with KHAR, KUGN and KQNT. Luckily KCSJ had a clear and loud signal just on the top of the hour when the other stations faded out for a

I have been trying to pick up this one for many years on 1520 kHz. Although I have heard, every now and then, the nostalgia tunes and oldies songs on 1520 kHz around 21:00-23:00 UTC I have never been lucky enough to catch a proper identification - not until now. During ENOX19 last December I finally succeeded in capturing a legal ID “15-20 WIZZ Greenfield” in spite of the WWKB's huge signal

As there has been earlier posts about the SpectraVue´s approach to listening and measuring the frequencies (see posts on the KingsVillageDX-blog) this is not discussed here rather we try to make a summary of the listening tests by TuA in Lapland, some comparisions by listening to mw-band at Muhos (about 1000 m beverage to the West)on March 5-6th and the analysis of the recorded files by TK

WNZS on 1340 kHz has been a pretty rare catch in Finland. So I was amazed since this one surfaced strongly in the middle of the night on ENOX21. The ID on the half on the hour was loud and clear: "Newsradio 1340, WNZS". Before that WNZS run a couple of local spots and after the ID it had "Dennis Prager Show" programming.WNZS verified shortly with email and v/s even promised to send me an official

KZNW 1340 was one of those stations that faded in just when I was already leaving for home on ENOX21. KZNW is nowadays A Fox Sports -station and it belongs to the Cherry Creek Radio that runs many FM and AM stations in CA, CO, AZ, MT, UT, TX, ND and WA. KZNW had earlier Spanish Mexican format and it has been heard every now and then in Scandinavia. For me this was the first time to capture KZNW

Finally back in last December on ENOX19 KOUU was heard very late in the afternoon, almost in the evening Finnish local time, with a loud and clear signal. KOUU ran it's FM station KZBQ FM 93.7 Country programms and identified almost after every song they played.My emails and especially MP3s had problems to get thru to the station because of KOUU's

WNYY came in all alone on 1470 kHz on ENOX21 one night. It had a fine TOH ID followed by the CNN News and the "Finger Lakes Forecast". Earlier WNYY was a NOS -station but nowadays it airs Progressive Talk -shows.The station Manager verified nicely my report and listened to the MP3 I sent.

WGNS 1450 kHz became my third verified station from TN. Tennessee is not very easy state when you think about how many stations can be "easily" heard from this state. The most usual catches are naturally WSM 650 kHz and WLAC 1510 kHz. But after capturing them it is getting quite difficult...WGNS surfaced on ENOX21 with legal ID following the ABC news: "“Rutherford County’s News Leader, WGNS,

February 27, 2010 was a fine day for NA -dxing on ENOX21. So far I have found a couple of rare AMs from California, a Tennessee station on 1450 kHz and KXLE from Ellensburg, Washington on 1240 kHz.This was the first time for me to pick up KXLE. I captured a nice TOH ID "This is Newstalk 1240 KXLE, Ellensburg”. A brand new receiver, SDR-IP from RFSpace made its first appearance in Finland on

Hearing KVEC 920 kHz was a pleasant surprise on ENOX21. I was amazed when it surfaced just on the top of the hour over the dominant KXLY with a complete ID. As far as I know this was the first time this station has been picked up in Scandinavia. The signal was pretty loud and clear and KVEC was heard for a couple of minutes after TOH ID with Fox Radio News. KVEC's Program Director got excited

WNEM faded in and out with "Joy 1250" in Enontekiö when I captured this "Newsradio 1250" signal . The TOH ID was clear and it was easy to record an MP3 and send it to the station. After a few hours WNEM's Vice President answered me with a kind e-mail including a complete verification. WNEM became my MI #34.

WCMC played Timeless Favorites NOS -tunes at the time I picked up it. It was mixed up with CFFB and CFGN but because of its great music it was easily recognized on 1230 kHz. I had to wait for a verification for a couple of days but after a while President of the Equity Communications LP mailed me back and verified my report and MP3 -audio.

WNSH Beverly on 1570 surface on ENOX19 just a few minutes before it switched to the night power which is only 85 watts. It was 20:59 UTC when I picked up WNSH - so quite early for a coastal US station. WNSH's day power is 30.000 watts and the signal was quite loud for a while. CFAV "The Boomer" tried to beat WNSH and later on it did succeded in doing this.WNSH's chief engineer verified and

During the ENOX19 some stations used to surface quite early in the evening. Especially many stations from Newfoudland and Labrador had the decent signals very early. CFGN on 1230 kHz was quite easy to hear but identifying the station needed a little luck. However, on one evening I managed to pick up CFGN mentions and IDs twice and neither of those IDs were any network IDs on the top of the hour.

According to the verification I received Wednesday from WHLI my report was the seventh one coming from Scandinavia in the past couple of months. WHLI surfaced nicely with NOS -songs on ENOX19 early in the evening. The signal wasn not very loud but it was clear. This time WHLI aired the Lucky Buck Alert -contest promos and played the Harry Connick Jr's version of the famous Billy Joel song "Just

ENOX17 back in October 2009 offered a couple of nice new catches for me. One of them was KUHL Santa Maria in California on 1440 kHz. This one has been heard in couple of times in Scandinavia but it is definitely not the most usual catch on 1440 kHz.KUHL faded in and out on one October morning in Enontekiö. Once again SDR-14 and SpectraVue offered a nice signal and after a couple of emails the
